Gee, maybe you should have spent more time improving the lot of everyday people and less time playing footsie with billionaires?

A lot of neoliberal erstwhile-progressives are about to find out the consequences of selling out their principles for a seat at the rich kids’ table.

Most of Europe’s already found this out, Biden and Trudeau are looking at the same thing, and I expect Starmer will be out on his ass after four years of failing to help the poor and middle class, as he’s so busy right now assuring everyone that he’s not a socialist like Corbyn.

All those gains that were made in the 2010s? We’re at real risk of losing them as corporations try and triangulate their way to maximum revenue.

After Anheueser Busch welched, the right smelled blood in the water.

The progressive left is going to need to fight very hard and make a lot of allies because we’re so very close to snapping back to the 1990s, if not the 1950s.

How much of this is decline at the expense of Windows 11, due to Steam lowering barriers to entry, fatigue with Windows’ hard selling, and/or extending the useful like of hardware that W11 abandoned.

How about we just around kneecapping billionaires, instead?

So, money is speech, is pollution speech too?

Sometimes you get a 63-leaf clover, sometimes you get Gojira.

do the Liberals have any good options to turn things around?

Quit the party and vote NDP.

A liberal is a conservative whose privilege hasn’t been challenged yet.

Ironically, WP for Macintosh was probably the best WYSIWYG word processor in existence, especially since the great Word 5.1->6.0 regression.

Correct. Word’s was page and whitespace only, Wordperfect was nearer to markup, like HTML/XML, you could see bold, italic, font size changes, etc.

I’d like to see them lose so badly that Sinn Fein has more representation.

Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

How some federal employees are pretending to work using ‘mouse jigglers’.

FTFY.

This happens everywhere that managers are more interested in warming chairs than actually being productive:

• If you measure your employees by their work done, this isn’t an issue; if they’re getting what you think should be eight hours of work done in four, you promote them, pay them more and/or give them more responsibilities.
• If you measure them by the percentage of hours they spend warming a chair, they’ll…warm the chair.

Boy, imagine if we’d planned for this in the 1980s, like experts told us to, instead of just kicking it down the road because they money was too good?

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)

To be fair, that’s a British style of writing. It’s a loaded word in North American journalism, but neutral in the UK.

This would be accurate if they ever cared about neonatal or prenatal health… They don’t.

Infant mortality being sky-high is completely fine. Mothers with no supports, nutrition, or health care? Fine. A baby can die in utero as a result of neglect and they’d say it was God’s will, or rather that it’s God’s will that they not pay taxes for health care.

Ugh…

How did PCs beat out the Amiga, Mac and ST with nonsense like that?

“Easy to live with” is probably a a better term. They’re more comfortable and more versatile than a low-roof car, and not gas-sucking, hard to park, terrible handling and hard to climb in and out of like a truck or truck-based SUV.

While I agree with you, there were very few USDM two-row tall-roof cars, and I think the only one that sold even remotely well was the Chrysler Magic Wagon, because the others (the Civic Wagovan, whatever Nissan sold) were gutless.

The cars that really sell well are compact and mid-size crossovers like the CRV and RAV/4. Minivans aren’t quite the same thing, and the US never really got MPVs that crossovers basically are.

I do agree that minivans are almost always better than large crossovers, but they’re not as popular, cost more to make and retail for lower margins, which is why OEMs don’t push them.
